1156740 - Ask to activate broken with History API

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Igor]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/42.0.2311.90 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Turn "ask to activate" on Google Update plugin or plugin of your flavoir, go to any page that not uses history api, including blank(https://www.bugzilla.org works just fine) and run the following code in console, than remove history.pushState and re-run:

history.pushState('', '', 'noAskToActivateMessage');
var plugin = document.createElement('EMBED');
plugin.setAttribute('type', 'application/x-vnd.google.oneclickctrl.9'); //Change to plugin of your flavoir
plugin.setAttribute('width', '1');
plugin.setAttribute('height', '1');
document.body.appendChild(plugin);

this bug seems similar with #1118195, because facebook uses navigation api.


Actual results:

No ask-to-activate bar.


Expected results:

Ask-to-activate bar appear.
